Alumni Reunion May 6, 2009 This Wednesday, May 6, held a meeting in the precincts of the university with some former students all from the Japanese section of Paris 7. In addition to students of L3 present, a small number of members of L1 and L2 have made the trip, bringing the total participants about thirty people. At the initiative of this meeting, it should highlight the work of Laure Calame, herself an alumna of Paris 7 and Maite Breger, a freshman, both in charge of contacting alumni and who have struggled to be able to find alumni and invite them to share their experience. 6 speakers were finally ready to play and answer questions after presenting their individual journey for about ten minutes.
are 4 speakers so I could remember the name (I ask others to forgive me).
Emmanuel Reynaud, employee Renault-Nissan
Stephane Langlois, used in a printing company
Hahmed Pournin Agnes and Cecilia, cofounder of the publisher of manga

It is clear from their response to the need more and more prevalent (but not new) pair of Japanese with the study of another discipline. Thus, Emmanuel Reynaud went to a business school after his Japanese license in his pocket. Cecile Pournin when she was a master of translation, something she particularly recommended to us.
other hand, stakeholders have presented Not surprisingly, the stays of long duration (one year or longer) in Japan as a must. Hahmed Pournin Agne and Cecile, who recently hired two people in their society (in place for 5 ½ years now), have told about it they could not recruit a person, whatever his qualities also in Japanese, so it does not justify a strong experience in Japan, given the importance played by the cultural aspect in the translation of manga. Hahmed insisted that was the springboard JET program which he had the chance to participate for two years. This enabled him to gain work experience and a mastery of language and politeness of Japanese culture, elements that were crucial to him thereafter.
It is important to note that the various stakeholders, in addition, the major part of them, done several internships and other jobs before finding a permanent job, some are also still looking for a job they correspond more. In this regard, during the canvassing of Japanese companies it goes without saying that we must send a resume in Japanese rather than French if it is to be read by the HRD of the company. Moreover, the Japanese are often dubious about reading a CV marked bilingual in Japanese, it is therefore not no need to provide proof of your level of Japanese as far as possible (personal blog written in Japanese, JLPT level ...) so they can assess your level of Japanese. Equally important, do not hesitate to send unsolicited applications since the job actually appearing in the form of advertisements and otherwise, may in fact represent only the tip of the iceberg.
In conclusion I would say that the labor market doing, it became increasingly necessary to have several strings to his bow, and that as the dual training is becoming more rigorous. Internships prove, Moreover, almost forced a passage before obtaining a permanent contract. As such, the establishment of a professional master in 2010 at Paris 7 is a laudable objective. Falling down from the current research master in terms of objectives and content, it is expected to offer internships to students to facilitate their integration into the world of work. I bet that this item be coupled to the establishment of workshops and courses in tune with the realities of the labor market and vocational programs, like business schools will benefit from a pool of enterprise from which build. Otherwise, the JET program can be a good way to put a first foot in the world of work (see Section Go to Japan for more information). Spaces are very expensive (usually between 2 and 4 years) and contrary to the information provided, a Japanese license will prove inadequate in my opinion. JET attempt after an exchange student in Japan and once entered into M1 or M2 seems to me the best thing to do.
Moreover, for students intending to research, I would strongly advise you to engage in a dual curriculum to prepare you for the dissertation and thesis, a requirement which will require a knowledge of methodology and subject discipline your research that is often lacking in student only in Japanese (and I know something!). You will notice in this respect that the vast majority of your teachers (if not all) do have a dual background (mathematics, literature, sociology, history, philosphy ...) and that accession to the post university professor will provide you rarely do the same. For them, the award of Monbusho (the Japanese Minister of Education) is a precious document since it allows to pursue his PhD at the university of choice in Japan, subject to find a teacher willing to take you under his wing. All along your course you will have approximately 160 000 per month and will be exempt from tuition fees. For more information I refer you to the website of the Embassy of Japan
